About this title
Synopsis
The town at the bottom of the valley will not sell them flour. This is not stated as policy anywhere. It is simply that the store is closing whenever they ride in, and has been for four months, and everybody has agreed not to discuss it. Sergeant Elias Pike has twelve men of the Tenth and orders to hold the ford above that town for as long as it takes. On the ninth of the month somebody comes across the river in the dark, and the people who will not sell them flour are downstream of it.
Who this is about
Sergeant Elias Pike commands twelve men of the Tenth Cavalry, holding a river crossing above a settlement that will not let them buy supplies in it.
What goes wrong
Somebody comes across the river in the dark, and the people who will not sell them flour are downstream of it.
What's at stake
Holding the ford saves a town that will not say so afterwards, and everybody involved knows it.
Why it keeps going
Each episode the town needs one more thing, and asks for it a little less rudely than the time before.
Takeaway
A man can serve a country that has not yet agreed to have him, and it is still service.
